I am currently a software developer at DNEG, a visual effects company in London.

Prior to that I was a post-doc researcher in Laboratoire d'Informatique (LIX) at École Polytechnique near Paris, France,
in the computer graphics group lead by Maks Ovsjanikov.
I received my PhD from Tel Aviv University,
in the Computer Graphics lab led by Daniel Cohen-Or.
My previous professional experience spans over 10 years as a software engineer and 2 years as a VFX artist.

My research has focused on shape analysis, shape and image similarity, segmentation and shape matching,
including some machine learning and deep learning work.
